Clubs

The AUPP Student Affairs office offers students the opportunity to organize, create, and lead extracurricular clubs of their personal interest. Clubs at AUPP play an essential role in establishing a culture of diverse community, leadership development, and teamwork building. Students are invited to introduce new clubs of interest or eliminate old clubs each semester. Many of the learning outcomes AUPP stands for are put into practice through hands-on application outside of the classroom. For example, effective communication and ethical behavior between club members, leaders, and AUPP staff and faculty must coincide together in order for a club to successfully run. Each club has a club leader and Faculty or Staff Advisor with a minimum of five active members. All students are open to propose new clubs at any time of the academic school year. Clubs at AUPP also serve as a healthy release from academic stress. For more detailed information on clubs, please contact AUPP’s Student Affairs Program Advisor at t.mesches@aupp.edu.kh.
